Energy-efficient, compact UVB coil bulbs fit standard incandescent bulb sockets! UVB light is as essential as proper food and water when it comes to the bone health of tropical reptiles. Also provide needed UVA light, plus visible-spectrum illumination to make subtle skin coloration more vivid and viewable. Tropical 25 UVB bulbs (25 microwatts per second/cm2) in 13W or 20W sizes are designed for 3500 hours or 12 full months of average use.

WarningDo not touch lamp or fixtures while operating. Heat is generated by this lamp. Keep away from combustible materials. Position and shield fixture so reptiles are unable to touch lamp. Keep out of the reach of children.

Absolutely essential to their health and growth, UV plays a key role in the production of Vitamin D3, which is necessary in the absorption and metabolism of calcium as well as other essential vitamins and minerals.

Often called "Giant Green Iguanas", Green Iguanas can grow up to 6 ft long and live up to 20 years or more. Since Green Iguanas come from exotic, tropical lands they require very specific housing, food, light, and other care requirements.

I have a 30 gal tank that houses a Western painted turtle. I'm interested in purchasing the Zilla Tropical 25 UVB fluorescent coil bulb but how do I know if I need the 13W or 20W? Will it work in the ZooMed deep dome lamp fixture?

Thank you for your question. Our team provided the following answer to assist you: Because the tank isn’t that deep and the turtle will be basking at least midway up the level of the tank, I would suggest using the 13W coil bulb. Yes, they will work in the Zoo Med Deep dome.
